EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and intensity of the First World War, a tranquil oasis could be found in the heart of London at the Formosa Oolong Tea Rooms in Piccadilly. This enchanting establishment was the perfect refuge for weary war workers, including these dedicated nurses, who sought respite from their demanding duties. The tea-rooms were renowned for their exquisite luncheons, teas, and dinners, providing an escape from the harsh realities of the front lines. The elegantly dressed waitress, with a steaming pot of Formosa Oolong Tea in hand, offers a warm and inviting smile to the nurses, who, in their uniforms, have momentarily left behind their roles as caretakers and healers. The tea rooms, adorned with lush greenery and delicate china, offered a sense of home and comfort, making it the most charming place in London for a much-needed break. As the war raged on, the Formosa Oolong Tea Rooms provided a sanctuary for those on the home front, offering a moment of peace and relaxation amidst the turmoil of wartime London. This photograph, taken in 1917, captures a brief moment of respite, a testament to the enduring power of a hot cup of tea and the comforts of home.
